i hope so, but i dont think so. they say to maximise aero and at the same time stay within the rules the only way to do it is to have the step-nose.

hopefully most teams go for the redbull approach, where it was a slope rather than the ugly mercedes which just suddenly started. it looked horrible. i guess paint scheme also draws more or less attention to it depending on how its done.

i say the mclaren engineers should just tell everyone how they managed to do follow the rules and avoid the step-nose, so everyone can just follow them

Honestly, take everything Marko says about Webber with a grain of salt. He seems to have it in for him.

He's the boss. (Apart from Dietrich) You think Red Bull would have trouble filling his seat if he don't comply? Webber is winding down to retirement, as much as I hate to say it and his results in the last three years have pigeon holed him. If you were a team boss would you still offer equal treatment considering the results of the last three years? **** no.

No he isn't. He's just an advisor and also Vettel's manager, I believe. Apart from running the junior team (of which Vettel was a part of, of course), he doesn't have too much say in the hiring and firing of drivers.

Sadly, I agree.

Hmmm, tricky. I don't want to see anything like "maintain the gap" again, but, I don't know.

I'd let them race equally - kinda keeps them on each other's toes and maybe perform just a bit better and stops them getting complacent within the team (I could be wrong though and that this could even hinder them).
Then when a clear leader emerges, focus towards them. Simple.
Especially considering Vettel still has his entire career in front of him, might as well "reward" your retiring driver with the possibility to succeed.
Let him go out on form, respectably.
